Wireless headphones have come a long way from being just a travel accessory — today, they're expected to deliver true hi-fi sound, effective noise cancellation, and all-day comfort in one package. The Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S3 sets out to do exactly that. As the third generation of B&W's flagship over-ear wireless range, the Px7 S3 builds on the award-winning Px7 S2e with a lighter chassis, re-engineered drivers, and a dedicated amplifier — features that were previously reserved for B&W's wired hi-fi products. In this review, we break down everything you need to know about the Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S3, including price in India, specifications, sound quality, and whether it's worth buying.
Design and Build Quality
The Px7 S3 is noticeably slimmer and about 7 grams lighter than its predecessor, yet it retains the premium feel B&W is known for. The earcups are wrapped in ballistic nylon with a woven fabric headband, and the hinges and yolk feel solid without any creaking under pressure. It's available in three finishes — Anthracite Black, Canvas White, and Indigo Blue — so you can pick a colourway that matches your style. Memory-foam ear cushions and reduced clamping force make the Px7 S3 comfortable enough for long flights or full workdays.
Sound Quality: 40mm Bio-Cellulose Drivers
At the core of the Px7 S3 are re-engineered 40mm bio-cellulose drivers, now paired with a dedicated headphone amplifier and a 24-bit DSP — a first for a B&W wireless headphone. This combination delivers a punchy, spacious, and detailed sound signature with:
● Rich, expressive midrange for vocals and acoustic instruments
● Controlled, deep bass without bleeding into other frequencies
● Clean, extended treble with precise stereo imaging
● A five-band EQ in the Bowers & Wilkins Music App to fine-tune the sound to your taste
With support for aptX Adaptive, aptX Lossless, aptX HD, AAC, and SBC over Bluetooth 5.3, the Px7 S3 can stream near-CD-quality audio wirelessly, making it one of the most capable Bluetooth headphones for serious listening.
Active Noise Cancellation and Calls
The Px7 S3 uses an adaptive, 8-microphone ANC system that continuously adjusts to your environment — four external mics cancel background noise, two monitor driver performance, and two are dedicated to voice pickup with ADI Pure Voice technology for clearer calls. A transparency mode lets ambient sound in instantly when you need to hear an announcement or have a quick conversation, without removing the headphones.
Battery Life and Connectivity
● Up to 30 hours of playback with ANC switched on
● Fast charging: 15 minutes on USB-C gives up to 7 hours of playback
● Bluetooth 5.3 with multipoint pairing for two connected devices at once
● Apple MFi support and Google Fast Pair for quick, seamless pairing
● Wired listening via USB-C or 3.5mm cable when the battery does run low
Bowers & Wilkins Px7 S3 Price in India

Who Should Buy the Px7 S3?
● Audiophiles who want balanced, hi-fi sound without being tied to a cable
● Frequent flyers and commuters who need dependable, adaptive noise cancellation
● Professionals who take calls on the go and need clear voice pickup
● Anyone upgrading from the Px7 S2e or S2 who wants the latest driver and amplifier technology
